Alfie, you have to give much, much more thought to what you shoot - at least you do if you are planning to post the images. Try to remember that just because something looks somehow interesting to you when you see it, does not mean it will necessarily translate into a photograph that is worth having taken. I understand that you are new to this, and I don't want to be mean - honest - but what you are doing is what kids often do when they get their first camera - shoot everything they see thinking that the fact that what they see is captured on film will make it a good photograph. Look at the image you posted this week and ask yourself 'what is interesting about this and why would anyone want to look at it?' Are there striking patterns of some sort? Not to my eye. Is there something particularly unusual about either house? Not really. Is there something worth capturing in the yard? Not that's in the photo. Keep shooting, but THINK before you shoot. Think about why you are taking the particular photo, and think about what it will look like when it is printed. B.

I think you needed to go down the stairs into the yard and shoot :) - -- John Chicago, IL http://SlideOne.com ==================== - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
